Tending the Soul

Where to begin? The soul is elusive, yet real. What does it taste like, look like, feel like? How can I tend something so elusive?

My mind is bothered; peace, peace. If the mind is in fact an empty vessel, what do I fill it with? Being drawn to something, knowing what it is. Creating the space for it to grow. Creating a supportive environment to grow in. All these are things a gardener does.

One of my favorite sayings is: “Have time to smell the roses.” Whenever I am confused about how to tend to the chaotic life, I spend time in a nature garden. I weed, fertilize or start something from seed. Soul tending is very similar to caring for a plant. The seeds you plant matter, the soil matters.
